<H2 ALIGN="CENTER">TRACE request method</H2>

The TRACE request method as defined in 
<a href="ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2068.txt">RFC2068</a>
(HTTP/1.1) says the webserver to echo the HTTP request headers as they were
seen by the server originally.

<br>
<br>

As the spec says this can be used to discover if a proxy or something else
in between the client and the server distorted the http request (the
cgi-nanoweb-wrapper for example usually does this).
